I'm counting the ways that you used to know me
I've traced my way through all these old mazes
I have to sigh to keep breathing
I'm peeling back layers so I can remember
The fine lines between the pages that you'd write
I'm awake from the inside
The threading is loose, so keep sifting
I've got these shards for you
They're tucked away for safe keeping
But don't be fooled, it will be gone soon
These fine lines between the pages that you'd write
I'm awake from the inside
You're tired of being read
So don't leave me in the quiet
Have sight...
for me

Ascending

Lifted from his cage
The little boy
He drowns, he draws the sun
He screams to you
"In night, it blooms -
It's taking me all"
Oh he dreams the dead...
Unkempt and elastic
With clouded veins
His savior is nothing to hold
Untied without laces
Unmasked tired faces
His destiny is sold
Oh he dreams the dead...
Don't you look back on these cages
Don't you look back

Hear her call its name at night (far)
Wonder where it wants to go (far)
Biding by the river's time (far)
She falls within its gentle meadow
Light these hills on fire
I can't take this shame
Catch the splinters in your palms (mar)
From the fall's sullen bones (mar)
Build a room of empty thrones (mar)
Ignite the land you never chose
Light these hills on fire
I can't take this shame
Why don't you run from the flames
Quench your thirst
Insatiable in lust
I never allowed redemption here
Light these hills on fire
I can't take this shame
Hear her call it's name at night

Tranquility Cab

Wired and choking up
Just wading through
The experienced are loosening their views
Torn from memories you once knew
Nice distraction for your gold debut
Save my eyes
Save my eyes
Oh you, blistered-sweet
Red burns cold
Deceives me
Aren't you ashamed of what it has to be?
All your self-assertions are left unclean
Save my eyes
Save my eyes
Oh you, blistered sweet
Red burns cold
Deceives me
I can't discern the ocean
From the waves you feel, you fill
with bitter sea

Crystal Spaceships

Safely in my vision I wait
Quiet in the night I stay
And I will come home
And I will be heard
With these ships that pull you with
the aching flow
So tired of running in the ether
Just left to the trees that hold us
Well here is my window
Here is my shadow that I'm bound to
And here, here is my body
Here is my silence
I'm left with to -
Give up to you...
I'm high and I won't come down
From the windsails in the waking breeze
I'm taken but it feels I'm free
For the tides have changed their ways
And I will come home
And I will be heard
Let go
Into the empty
Into the chambers
Into the vault of your mind
Let go
Into the arms
Into the spell
Out of the walls of our kind
It's all around us
It's inside -
(Here)
Here is the window
Here, here is the shadow
And here, here is my shell
Here is my casing that I've left you
I will come home...
Let go...
I will come home...

Fences
04:29
|

Lay down all expectations
I've been here before in these halls
Your eyes speak to the wires
in the vibrations of echoing walls
Fences
They're falling down
Between the arrows of our lives
Fences will be found
We're changing under these floodlights
Through every care that we've designed
We'll act it out through the rust
Unwind all the equations
In the left field of every rewrite
Take back all of your questions
From the summation of wronging our rights
Nature won't comply
Without eating time
You want to talk about it
I want to wait and destroy
(patience, please)
You ask what happened to it
I say it's best to be coy
(patience, please)
These are the fences we have built
I'll take my time and stay
These are the fences we've built
No time to run away

Enter here:
A void where nothing ever sleeps
Why do you try to stay?
Why do you want to wake up empty
and alone again?
I'm still;
I'm still here,
Pulling pictures down -
Still burning at both ends
And you've learned nothing
And you're still wanting
And you're still hiding...
You're still hiding in my mind
And you're still hiding in my eyes
Had a lot of pictures fade, and
Had a lot of time to grow
But you're still hiding in my mind

Eat Crow

Oh, you left me out in the cold
so you could walk across my skin
Barred from feeling again
Outside you stalked alone to my sounds
denied from the sacrificial lens
Prying underneath all the bends
Well,
I'll stay right behind
your mirrored ways
Implied without solitude some days
Fights ablush with pillowed rage
Looks like everything has died
Well,
I'll stay right behind
your mirrored ways
Then I can finally say
goodbye in my way
I'll lift this burden
so you can run
Unhitch your shoulders
from finished loads
Take off your armor, I'm retired
from this nettled mode
Fold your hand, it's over
No more waiting around
for miraculous encounters
to find their way to life
You have to let this go
You have to eat your words
Find the time to make amends
with these remnants in your hands
of yesterday...

The Path

I am my bones
paper-thin velveteen
Scour at the roads
trailed from somber dreams
So let the teeth sink in too far
I won't fight it
I am my hope
invisible and plated
Blind to the chords
sent from my head
So let the teeth sink in too far
I won't fight it
I was always so wrong for this
And now I fall apart without it
Can I just find a place to rest
without your burn in my chest
In this gaping lie

Cicada Tree

Winter has come and left us here
fed from your wine
Lift me into your hardened limbs
jaded and wise
We're breathing out of your wounds until
we find ourselves release
in sleep... like sheep
Tender leaves fall with gentleness
our peace consumed
by the fleeting hoards of mourned regrets
'til lives resume
We're bleeding out of your wounds until
we find ourselves release
Wake up the dawn through your fingertips
I'll carry on outside of this
Your promises save me
Bury down the old
Sights familiar and free
Meetings always bold
So stay...
and live one more time
